This book is a story about a boy who was so excited to have a baby brother, who then after some years changed to be his sister. This book explores his feelings and worries on his sibling changing genders and realizing that they were still the same person despite changing from being his brother to his sister. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

A beautiful book about a little boy who becomes a big brother to a new baby. He enjoys showing the baby his toys, making them giggle and teaching the new baby things, and thinking he had a brother to play with! But then one day she tells him she is a girl, her parents and everyone got it wrong! Gradually everyone learns to accept that a child is just a child regardless of gender and they are just the same as before.

A great book about dealing with transgender from an early age and accepting children for who they are and loving them regardless.

This is a really beautiful book telling the story of Daisy who born as a born identified as a girl. The story is told through the thoughts of her older brother. The language is pitch perfect for reading with children under 7:( Ks 1) and deals with the challenges of transgender with sensitivity and celebration. The illustrations support the story and bring a happiness to the book. At the end of the book , the author Adria Karlsson describes her own personal experiences and those of her two children in particular how her son dealt with the transition of his sister. This is a wonderful book for parents, carers and teachers or for children to enjoy themselves. Young children rarely label or judge other children so maybe this book is as much for adults to recognise how we are all individual and need to be allowed to be our true selves for a young age.
